RANGELEY — The Youth Ensemble of New England will present a concert at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, at the Church of the Good Shepherd. There is no admission fee, but good-will donations will be accepted. The concert is presented by the Rangeley Friends of the Arts.

The ensemble is comprised of about 30 young people ages 10-20 and is based at Thayer Conservatory in Lancaster, Massachusetts. The orchestra is an outgrowth of the New England Youth Ensemble which was started 47 years ago by Virginia-Gene Rittenhouse that traveled the world performing concerts. This orchestra has thrived in its own right and has performed in many countries of the world including the United States, Canada, Iceland, Scotland and England.

The repertoire of the orchestra includes works of the great masters such as Bach, Mendelssohn, Purcell and Dvorak, as well as great sacred music and lighter American and Pops-type repertoire. The orchestra concerts are interesting and varied and appeal to young and old alike. Talented young soloists are often featured in the concerts. The orchestra performs more than 20 concerts a year in churches, schools, concert halls and for other civic organizations.
